VIZ. Reecher,s ObsequieS.

New YORK, March 10.-In spite OF the
rain the streets in the vicinity of Rev. h. w.
Beecher's house were crowded with people
this morning. A large number of floral en-
bIems were received before the private SER
vices commenced. The coffin rested in the
centre of the front parlor and was surround
ed with bank of fragrant flowers. The
remains were dressed in a 5uit Of black
broadcloth, with the frock coat buttonsd up
and the right hand laid across the breast.
The features were natural and there was 8
smile upon the face The long gray hair
was brushed back over the ears, the same
as Mr.. Beecher wore it while alive. Early
in the morning before the services Mrs.
Beecher went into the parlor and stood by
thu coffin for some time. She bent over the
remains and after implanting kiss upon
the cold lips was led into the back room.
Promptly at $50 o'clock Rev. Charles d.
Hall of the Church of the Holy Trinity en-
tered the front parlor and commenced to
read the burial service from the ritual of the
Episcopal church. A quartette sang "Jesus
lover of my soul, ;" Beyond the signing and
the weeping" and Come, Holy Spirit"
Only the members of the family and
few intimate friends were present
during the services at the house. The
family were seated in the back parlor
None OF the family were dressed in black.
Mrs. Baecher sat near the remains during
the reading of the service, and by her side
were her sons and daughters and the mem
bers of the family. She bore up wonderfully
during the whole of the ceremony and was
quite calm. A few moments before the re-
mains were carried out OF the house to the
hearse the rain ceased, the clouds passed
| away, and the sunshine burst out bright
and clear. A ray shone through the front
window of the parlor, and before the lid of
the casket was screwed down rested upon
the face of the great divine, lighting up and
forming halo around the head. AT the
conclusion of the services ct the house the
Rev. DR.. Hall spoke for Is minutes, after
which the remains vera taken to Plymouth
Church By the Thirteenth Regiment, Of
Brooklyn, where they will lie in state. They
will be inferred in Greenwood on Saturday.

ALEX ANDRIA.
THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 10.

THERE EXISTS popular delusion, which
M amount of reiterated explanation and
nroof seems possible to dissipate, and which
affects some otherwise very intelligent peo'
nle TO tie effect that the President, in the
execution of his undemocratic, nay, even
un-Amelican civil service policy, Is bound
by both the civil service law and by the
nlatform of The national democratic conven-
ton upon which he was nominated. Notn-
inp could be more erroneous than this idea.
In all the civil service law there 10 NOT
SINGLE word, or any context, which, by the
most strained construction, can be made 10
warrant the age restriction imposed by the
President upon applicants for admission In
to the civil service. But the law, and this
the President has evidently lost sight OF,
does make it q miedemeanor to "obstruct'
any person in respect of the right to De ex'
amiued. The only reference to civil service
in The platform upon which the President
was nominated is in the following SIX words:
I'VE favor honest civil service reform. Ger
family in these words there IS no warrant Tor
an age restriction. And yet rule Il OF The
civil service rules made and executed by
the President, excludes all persons over
thirty five years of age from examination
for the postal service, and all over forty-hve
from examination for any other service sub
iect to the civil service law. or course this
restriction excludes all ex Coniederates from
the postal service, and most all from any
other governmental service under an ad-
mnistration generally supposed to be ma
tional and not sectional. Why the Presl-
dent. who can, by single stroke OF his pen,
strike out this Objectionable, sectional, un-
wise and unjust rule, doesn't make that
stroke passes tho comprehension of the vast
majority of tho people be whose votes he
was nominated aud elected.

TIME WAS when the people who subscribed
for the stock of railroads and who lived at
the terminal points and along the lines OF the
roads, in short, the people who built the roads
and were interested in their prosperity, had
something to DO with their management.
But that time has gone, aud the roads are
now owned aud controlled by rings of cap
